I think what happened in CT yesterday is even more painful for
atheists than believers. At least the latter have delusions to distract
them. But atheists know those children lost the only lives they'll ever
have. That's the reality of the situation and it's too painful to bear.
If the parents recover from this blow and go on to live meaningful lives, they have my utmost admiration. No parent should have to suffer like this. But of course it goes much further than the immediate families of victims. The kids who survived will never be the same. And the echoes go out from there, spreading far and wide. Will any kid in a U.S. elementary school ever feel safe again?
I have so much anger. Radio silence for the rest of the day.
